You see them on the field and interviewed on ESPN but who are these student-athletes? Having the opportunity to get to know the athletes on a more personal level is a highlight of working in athletics. So we thought we’d give all of our fans the same opportunity. The Tulane Athletics Department introduces “The Day in the Life of a Student-Athlete: Summer Edition.”
Seventh in the series is junior swimmer Hagar Elgendy. We meet her at the pool at 5:45a.m. for her daily swim workout. Hagar heads to class for a test and then to her second class. She sits down and shares a few moments with fellow Tulane athlete Candice St. Etienne to answer some questions about what life as a student-athlete is like. Then, she heads back to the Wilson Center for more training and explains her workout. In the afternoon, she heads to the squad room where she is met by a few members from her “Athletes in Action” group. She explains why she brought the program to Tulane and introduces a new member of the group. Click the link above to watch highlights from a female athlete’s day!
